Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. Key Responsibilities: * Own full-vehicle structural analysis from concept through qualification, including assumptions, modeling approach, documentation, and margin closure. * Develop, maintain, and execute finite element models (FEM) at component, subsystem, and vehicle level; ensure model configuration control and traceability. * Operate Hyper-X for analysis workflows and deliverables; integrate tool outputs into substantiation and reporting. * Perform structural assessments across relevant environments, as applicable: * Quasi-static and inertial loads * Coupled loads analysis (CLA) support * Modal, random vibration, sine vibration, acoustic, and shock response * Buckling, stiffness/deflection, load path validation * Create and review stress reports, substantiation packages, and certification/qualification artifacts (methods, results, margins, sensitivities). * Conduct hand calculations to validate FEM results and support rapid trades. * Evaluate and uprate existing structures to carry higher loads, including: * Identifying limiting load paths, local hot spots, and driving failure modes * Reanalyzing updated load cases and environments, updating margins, and documenting impacts * Recommending and s
